Lake County (IN) Public Library Obituary Database Released

Lake County (IN) Public Library released their Post Tribune or Gary Post Tribune Obituary Index (1921-current) this week. As the title suggests, the Index provides searchable access to obits from the the Gary IN area newspapers from 1921. Included are first/last/middle names, death date, age and newspaper citation. Copies of obits can be requested from Lake County Public Library staff directly through their Ask A Librarian service. The index joins over 20 databases created and hosted by EngagedPatrons.org.

EngagedPatrons has been working with Lois Blythe at Burlington (IA) Public Library to put their local genealogy index on the web. You can see the result here. Do you have a local database you would like to make searchable on the web? Contact us for more details.
